Definition slanted in favor of monotheism

[edit]

I report that there is an ongoing discussion about the neutrality of this category. Specifically, it is about whether this category should contain only the conception of supreme God of the Abrahamic religions (i.e. transcendent and not manifesting in multiple gods) or also the conception of supreme God of the polytheistic religions (i.e. immanent and manifesting in or begetting the multiplicity of deities).--93.71.129.253 (talk) 01:46, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As I have stated in the conversation at Talk:Anu, we already have a category about polytheistic male deities: Category:Gods. --Katolophyromai (talk) 02:52, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Anu is not a "polytheistic male deity"; it is an immanent conception of the supreme God as Heaven, as discussed here. You continue to apply the Abrahamic conception of the supreme God, excluding the conceptions of supreme God of polytheistic religions as if they were not the "true God". Also note that the category already contains Hindu and African concepts of the supreme God, and even the article "God" is not exclusively about the Abrahamic (transcendent) conception of God.--2.34.169.73 (talk) 17:44, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
